From 36bd10013bdfbc34c35b6eac998323168d97f474 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Barnab=C3=A1s=20P=C5=91cze?= Date: Sat, 4 Sep 2021 17:56:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: wmi: do not fail if disabling fails MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit [ Upstream commit 1975718c488a39128f1f515b23ae61a5a214cc3d ] Previously, `__query_block()` would fail if the second WCxx method call failed. However, the WQxx method might have succeeded, and potentially allocated memory for the result. Instead of throwing away the result and potentially leaking memory, ignore the result of the second WCxx call.
